Bobcat & Turkey Vulture

11-28-17

[@dreyb1801]

Waoh. Each time the vulture looked down, the bobcat took a few more steps. So cunning & intelligent. No way he was getting that vulture. So alert.

[@Hodgesxoxo]

Am I the only one amazed by how low that Bobcat can get into the grass!? Anywho, great footage!

[@jordanjones7009]

I was also it amazing how he crept towards its prey

[@princejohn6560]

Everytime that bird put its head down to take a bite of its meal the cat crept forward then stopped when the bird looked up. that's called stealth

[@puffer9013]

The vulture knew it was there

[@Liger._King]

It didn't work for it because that culture had keen sight and saw it before it even made the first move.

[@loganlin6109]

No the vulture just didn’t give a fuck😭

[@jasonbrown467]

it was like a cartoon scene from tom and jerry or something

[@lufsolitaire5351]

He was unbothered, literally the vulture would eat-look at bobcat-eat-look at bobcat, etc. the bobcat was likely inexperienced and got way too close way too fast and didn’t realize the vulture already knew it was there.

[@talonflame_brawlstars.7208]

I never seen an interaction like this! How awesome! I’ve also never seen a wild bobcat in person before.

[@tonyprice2256]

I have only seen one in my 66 years. They are very elusive creatures.

[@vincentrobinson9645]

Turkey vulture : Ahhh haaa , saw ya coming 😂 Bobcat : Damn , that would’ve made a nice lunch !!! 😾

[@Liger._King]

I'm glad that Turkey vulture escaped; I love those birds. They have the best wings in the business - fly and glide so effortlessly. When they take off, even from the ground, just a couple or so wing flaps and then they can glide for miles on end and rise in altitude without as much as a wing flap. They are simply fantastic and excellent flyers!

[@BlueSkyBirdies]

YOOOO I FEEL THE SAME WAY! TURKEY VULTURES ARE MY FAVORITE BIRD!

[@paisteuser06]

They're one of the most graceful soaring birds I've ever seen. There's a tall tree across the street from my house that attracts a large community of turkey vultures in the summer time and come early evening an entire congregation of them will gradually circle the tree and land there for a night's rest. It's truly breath taking to see dozens of them soaring and circling all at once to go to bed. I always stop what I'm doing to watch. Most people don't understand how important they are.

[@BlueSkyBirdies]

@@paisteuser06 I live near an old flooded quarry where the vultures live. They use the updrafts coming off the cliff and the lake.

[@squeersquid1107]

Vultures are the best bird...change my mind.

[@JR-st3mp]

Agreed. I’m a paraglider pilot, and turkey vultures are for sure one of the most skilled soaring birds I’ve ever flown with. They have shown me to countless thermals

[@cyclesmoking]

If he thought that was a turkey I’m not having Thanksgiving dinner at his house 😳

[@oscarportillorivera7469]

😆 lol

You are so right. I am wondering if he was working with the bobcat. Happy that it got away.

Yes, very much so.

[@John572d4]

The bobcats and coyotes have a better chance at this when it’s dark out, or usually pre-dawn hours

[@tonyprice2256]

Yes. All felines have great night vision.

[@antichrist_revealed]

Cat: That's my dinner, I was coming back to finish it. Vulture: Ohhh, this was yours . . . well, gotta go . . . .

[@samueldasnher3482]

Love how the T.V Froze On The Spot Upon Noticing The Bobcat. Gr8t Video!

[@thomask6798]

The coolest part of this whole video was. Seeing how completely aware the, Bobcat, was of the guy filming. The T V. was an impressive size. Easily a linebacker.

[@dongray6834]

Anticipation was good!

[@XAVargasX0206]

Volture saw him the whole time

[@pippenstein]

Smelled him, more likely, but yeah -- you nailed it. The vulture was just not really all that worried, cuz they actually don't have natural predators. That cat was just a young'n or was very desperate.

[@XAVargasX0206]

@@pippenstein They are oppurtunists, they will try anything if it presents themselves.

[@pippenstein]

@@XAVargasX0206 Well, I wouldn't go that far. "Opportunities" are often imagined more than actual, and an experienced bobcat wouldn't consider eating a toxic meal like a vulture an "opportunity." Only a desperate or a naive 'cat would.

[@XAVargasX0206]

@@pippenstein Have to disagree, bobcat won't care what the animal is.... if it's small enough to be killed, they will kill it if possible (experienced kitty or not.) Cat's won't care if it's edible or not, they just won't eat it.

[@pippenstein]

@@XAVargasX0206 Ehhhh... small enough to be killed is the operative phrase here. And yes, animals DO learn, and they stay away from what is a waste of time. They're too smart to do otherwise. I guess we just see things differently -- but believe me, I know my stuff, too. I'm indigenous

[@user-me9kg7qd3z]

The smart bird was all the time ready to run away and he saw his enemy clearly trying to catch him

[@cassondrahead3524]

The bird knew the whole time lmaoooo it just let that bobcat do all that work n was like " SYKE!" LMAO

[@GG-kc6ie]

That TV knew exactly where it's enemy was, it kept looking to its right as if to say I know where the threat is on my left, just need to check something isn't flanking me from the right. Very cool and composed. 1

What a nice scene. I love those felines.

The Bobcat (named Bob?) may be a juvenile and yet to learn that he needs to stalk his anticipated lunch from behind.

[@tomistomasinensis]

Dude, where do you live that you have bobcats rolling thru your backyard?

The turkey vulture has a keen sense of smell，it can smell where the bobcat is without even having to see it

The beauty of able to fly away. I would like to be a bird any day.

[@LBCJeremy]

Any bird besides a pigeon and ostrich for me lol

[@AtiCrossfireX]

@@LBCJeremy I agree with ostrich lol but. I disagree with pigeon. I volunteer at a rehab for birds. Pigeons are one of the strongest bird's I've ever seen. I found one with an amputated wing. He was still alive, trying to survived. It was the saddest thing I've ever seen.

[@sergeiklimenko9247]

where did you see the turkey?

Bruh, I adore turkey vultures. My mans was really taking his sweet time knowing full well that he was being hunted. It's honestly a funny sight

[@elterrible06]

Poor stealth... well at least this time. Looked like big black bird was aware of bobcat's presence for over a minute. He was always ready to "fly".

[@ivanrousseau8769]

you can see @1.46 he lifts his head up he knows he's there @ 1.52 he looks right at him then looks away hes thinking ok i need to get the hell outahere like real soon

Mission failed🤣🤣

[@g5realestate280]

Everytime the bird took a bite, bobcat took 2 steps forward. Interesting to watch

[@jaylittleton1]

Thanks for posting this. Turkey Vultures get such a bad reputation. They may not be fair of face, but using that wing span of almost six feet they can glide aloft for 6 hours or more. They're pretty plentiful out here near San Jose, CA. and we often see groups of two dozen soaring on thermals.

[@pippenstein]

Love this. As a student of nagualism, my trecena sign is the vulture, and that is why I have learned so much about them, and I love what you had to say about these amazing feathered people. And the more one learns about them, the more one is impressed by them. But of course, I'm biased ;-)

[@larrymartell5411]

They're intelligent birds

[@epistte]

They are very dumb. I've literally had to get out of my car to shoo them off the road when they are eating roadkill. If you hit them they will destroy your grill and radiator because they are not small birds.

[@allym.4546]

@@epistte They are very smart birds, actually; vultures are notorious among raptor rehabbers for their intelligence, and some species are capable of learning the semantics of certain words. They have weak flat feet with blunted talons, so they can’t move dead animals out of the road, and thus often resort to eating them in the street. The best way to prevent collisions is to use a shovel to move roadkill out of the street for them.

[@sharpshooter012345]

Bobcat: I guess its KD for dinner.

[@crustydog1666]

I understand that vultures aren't exactly the tastiest things to eat.

[@karlfalckh3498]

Especially considering that the Turkey vulture was most likely snacking on bear dung in this video

[@Yophillips3272]

I don't know but they smell bad. There's a nature preserve near me that keeps injured wild animals, the Turkey Vultures smell like a mixture of skunk and wood smoke. That and they eat rotten flesh, I imagine they're a bit gamey lol

[@gerrywhelan5761]

The bird was real careful, it's head would only be down when eating for a second or two, then up to check, on its game.

[@pippenstein]

They're super smart.

[@MetaliCanuck]

turkey vultures just like wild turkeys have insane eyesight, it knew it was there all along and even with its head down has the field of view to still see him

This is why villagers in India wear masks of a persons face on the back of thier heads when walking or working in the fields. Tigers like to attack from behind but get confused by a face on both sides.
